Apparently all of my emails and all accounts.

It is a nightmare to try to get them back. The conversations I've had are probably gone forever because they no longer exist!!!

Well maybe I can get them to send me something on my cell phone. I'm not hopeful though.

Whoa. How? One of the main reasons I use a local mail client (Thunderbird in my case) is so I can have a local archive of messages so I can then back them up myself on various drives on my LAN.

Man, that sucks.

Yahoo. I managed to get it back after Yahoo figured out that I was me. What a relief!

Dream mail can download the stuff from places like hotmail, so it is stored on your computer. Free program from webattack.
